Easy How-To

Get Everything Ready

First things first, gather all your ingredients and get your workspace nice and tidy. This really helps with the flow later. You know how things can get messy if you’re not prepared!

Boil Those Noodles

In a pot, bring your water to a rolling boil—don’t skimp on the salt here! Then toss in your ramen noodles…cook them until they’re just tender. Usually, it’s about 3 to 5 minutes, but check the package. Just don’t let them get mushy—nobody wants that. Once they’re done, drain them and set them aside!

Make Your Sauce Base

Now, grab a big pan and melt some butter over medium heat…and, oh man, the smell is already great. Toss in the minced garlic—cook it until it’s fragrant and just starting to turn golden. It’s gonna be amazing.

Add the Good Stuff

Next, stir in your soy sauce and if you want, a spoonful of miso paste—totally optional but really amps up the flavor! Let it cook for a couple of minutes to bring the flavors together…so good!

Creamy Magic

Okay, now pour in your heavy cream—don’t be shy, just let that creaminess transform everything. Give it a good mix and let it thicken a tad. If you need to adjust it a bit with more broth or cream, now’s your chance.

Mix It Up!

Time to add your drained noodles right into that sauce, and gently toss them so they’re all covered in that velvety goodness. You want every noodle to feel loved!

Add the Final Touches

Now, serve this heavenly concoction into bowls… feel free to top each with your green onions, sesame seeds, and that soft-boiled egg—oh my gosh, yes! That’s where the magic really happens.

Good to Know

• If you want a little extra zing, maybe consider a splash of chili oil or some ginger in the sauce.
• This dish can really take some different toppings—think grilled chicken or tofu for protein, or even some crunchy, roasted chickpeas.

Serving Ideas

Top Tricks
